Virtual companion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A virtual companion is any kind of hardware or software creation designed to give companionship to a person. These can include digital pets, such as the popular Tamagotchi, or robots, such as the well-known Sony AIBO. Virtual companions can be used as a form of entertainment, or they can be medical or functional, as in artificial human companions to assist the elderly.
